TNA Hardcore Justice 2010 Review

The TNA ECW ppv started with a recap of the past of extreme wrestling. It's relatively the same as the one they showed on Impact. Once again, we see if TNA could make something out of nothing.

The crowd kept saying ECW regardless of copyright.

Taz came out first!

Taz gave some lame speech..it sucked.

THE FBI defeated Kid Kash, Simon Diamond, Johnny Swinger

Most of these guys do not have their physiques. I didn't really want to watch this, and was already tired. This was a very interesting match, because it had real wrestling in it! There were a few botches, but for the most part there was a good overall pace and wrestling prowess that YOU DO NOT SEE regularly. TNA talent could learn a thing or two from these guys, even if some of them were obviously out of their prime. The match turned into a dance off....ugh...not my thing. So thsi match had some good moments, and it wasn't a complete loss, despite a little bit of ring rust. I liked it, it was entertaining, and the best six man tag I've seen in a long time.

The main event would be none other than RVD vs Sabu, since Jerry Lynn was injured.

Too Cold Scorpio defeated CW Anderson

Scorpio (Flash Funk) doesn't look like he has been kept up his workout regimen, but then again CW Anderson wasn't exactly ripped. This match was interesting, if only to showcase that these two could still work really well. I liked it, wow, I didn't think I would like it, but Scorpio is quite fast. Scorpio won with one of the most amazing moves I've ever seen! He did a Full BackFlip and hit a LEG DROP! That's right, a full flip leg drop!

Bill Alfonso was backstage with RVD.

Stevie Richards defeated Justin Credible w/ Nova & Fake Blue Meanie

Justin Credible had this match nearly won with a spinning Tombstone Piledriver, but was distracted. Other than some simple moves, this match wasn't all that great, and the crowd was dead until Stevie hit the Superkick and won this match up. I didn't like it that much, and it was a real downer until Credible hit Richards with the Singapore Cane! That was awesome for sure.

The lights went out, and guess who?

THE SANDMAN! (Taz of course ruined the surprise)

The Sandman showed up and Justin Credible tried to fight, but immediately got a Russian Leg Sweep and the caning of his life. That was that. Sandman is fat again..that's nice. I saw him in Los Angeles around 2001 and he was really skinny and looked nearly sick.

It's nice to see that Francine gaind some weight and has a kid now. Remember that one time that Francine showed her tits? I didn't see it, but RF Video had a vhs for sale, but alas...I never saw it.

Rhyno defeated Al Snow and Spike Dudley in a triple threat elimination match

Spike is slower now, and couldn't hang at a few moments in this match. Al Snow and Rhyno did a lot of the heavy lifting. Snow used Head during the match after a ref bump and Spike used a chair to try to get leverage, by throwing it at Al Snow ala Eddie Guerrero! Then Al snow pretended to be out. This match had a lot of dead spots, but eventually managed to have a good enough finish to get the crowd alive. Rhyno speared Spike and won, that was that. Not really a great match, and just a filler to me.

The Dudleys w/ Joel Gertner defeated Balls Mahoney & Axel Rotten

This match was hardcore, and nasty. There were a lot of unprotected head shots, lots of plunder, and another reason why maybe ECW wasn't all that great. There wasn't a whole lot of wrestling here, and just your average big man match with lots of weapons. It's a nice throwback, including tables and chairs and the likes, but come on, it wasn't all that great. Nice nostalgia piece at best, but it was just an ugly match. Oh and yes, they lit the table on fire and threw Balls Mahoney through it...yep.

Post match out came the Gangstas! New Jack and what I believe was Mustafa? Yep, New Jack was hitting anything that moved with stuff. I didn't care for this at all.

Raven defeated Tommy Dreamer w/ special guest referee Mick Foley

This match was terrible. It had a lot of slow points, lots of weapons. I believe LODI showed up or someone, I don't know. Some random dude hit a nice leg drop. The crowd started chanting Holy Shit at one point when Foley gave the mandible claw with barbed wire wrapped around his hand. I didn't hate it, but um...it was weird. raven handcuffed Tommy Dreamer, and thsi was a throwback to the chair shot heard round the world. This too was done by WWF with Mankind and The Rock...remember? Raven eventually won...but this match wasn't that great...I didn't like it. It was just pointless...whatever. Boring ass match. Beulah was there, that was cool.

RVD defeated SABU

Bill Alfonso at ringside

Sabu had his head shaved. RVD stalled a lot in this match to go outside and play up his older style. Maybe Sabu couldn't go that well, or maybe things were just not going well...I don't know. This match was slow moving and tired. Sabu and RVD did a nice match up for what it was, but it was painfully obvious that SABU is NOT in his prime and was having problems later in the match. A table finale after a string of extreme moves ended this one, and of course RVD goes over.

The show ended with a speech from Tommy Dreamer and a bunch of people in the ring.

Overall not the worst show ever, but it wasn't nearly as good as the ECW ppv's I actually did order back in the day. Oh well...I hope TNA made a few bucks or whatever was their plan for this, because it was an "ok" show at best.
